MARKET MONEY AND COMIrERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: Within the past few days there has been a gradual increase in the inquiry for monetary assist ance, and the rates have consequently been tend ing in an upward direction. This morning the brokers have been charging 71 per cent. for the very best description of short dated commercial paper, and there are still symptoms that higher quotations may yet prevail, A further sum of £5,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The Seine, which left this morning with the Wes Indian mails, conveyed £11,480 in specie. _ _ The Norfolk has arrived from INielbourne:with £31,300 in gold. The return issued by the Bank of England for the past week is less satisfactory than was ex pected, notwithstanding the recent large purchase of gold, and the small demand for discounts at that establishment. Subjoined are the particulars:— £ 2 0,738,100 • .. 227,430 .. 12,930,033 .. 148,282 .. 3,839,557 .. 216,030 .. 5,815,742 527,017 .. 13,093,751 640,410 551,224 .• 14,826 10,797,095 Other Securitie s No alteration. .. 20,164,246 Increase .. 196,631 Notes Unemployed 6,141,875 Decrease .. 80,045 Very few changes of importance are shown in the Bank of France return for the past week. The cash has been decreased by £50,000, and the ad vances by £20,000. The discounts exhibit not the least change, while the notes in circulation have been increased by £26,700, the treasury balances £104,000, and the current accounts £466,700.

In the Tallow Market, however, there has been a reaction, prices having given way for both present and for ward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cents, were 66f, 75c. A very heavy market has prevailed all day for English Stocks.

THE TRAGEDY IN HATTON GARDEN. ADJOURNED INQUEST-THIS DAY. The adjourned inquest on the body of Mrs Wilkinson was resumed this day at the Three Tuns Tavern, Cross-stieet, Hatton-garden. The inquiry, it will be recollected, was adjourned in order to enable the coroner to communicate with Sir Grey to ob tain the attendance of the prisoner. The application had been successful, and the accused man this morning was in attendance, in custody of an inspector of the S division. The first witness examined was Mrs Turnbull, the aunt of the witness Collier, who gave her evidence before the magistrate, She merely repeated the statement as to the prisoner entering her bedroom and pulling his wife out of her bed and kicking her violently. Ann Chadwick said she had known Mrs Wilkinson for two years. The deceased often told her of her husband's illusage, but that he always was anxious to make it up with her. She saw her last Sunday about 8 o'clock, when she told her what had occurred at the railway station. She said she and her husband had quarrelled, and that he had struck her in the eye. She left witness's place at 10 o'clock and went home, but she said she should not go into her own room until her husband was asleep, as he was sure to be quarrelling with her, and she was afraid of him when tipsy, but that he was always kind to her when sober. By a Juror--The bruise on the eye was not visible when she saw her. She appeared quite well when she left her. Police-constable 116 G said he took the prisoner into cue. tody. He asked him how he accounted for the marks on the deceased. He said, " Well, there was some blows on Friday last, but none since. Police constable 1 G said, the prisoner was brought to the police station at Clerkenwell about half-past one on Sunday morning. He informed the prisoner he was charged with a serious offence, and, having cautioned him, he said, "It's not what I've done to-night, it's what I did on Friday." Mrs Collier recalled—She had never heard the prisoner threaten the life of his wife, The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, said it was for them to consider the charge, which was a very serious one against Henry Wilkinson, who was supposed to have murdered his wife, It would be for them to consider whether the evidence was sufficient to sustain an accusation of wilful murder. The coroner went through the evidence, and stated that, according to the testimony of the medical gentleman, the injury which caueed the death of the unfor• tunate woman did not arise from any violence she might have sustained on the Friday, but from a rupture of the spleen, which, however, was in a diseased state. The kick which it had been proved the prisoner had inflicted on the deceased appeared to have caused that rupture, and, under all the circumstances, they would have to show whether the blow was inflicted with the malicious intention of killing the woman. If they should be of that opinion, then it would be their duty to return a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner, but if they thought that he had been guilty of unintentionally causing her death, they would return a verdict of manslaughter. The jury then returned ti consider their verdict, and after about hulfnan-hour's absence, returned to the inquest room. In answer to the questions of the Coroner, The foreman of the jury said they were opinion that the prisoner did not contemplate killing his wife, and they therefore returned a verdict of manslaughter against him. The prisoner, a man about 30 years of age, of the middle height, with sharp features, and deeply pitted by small-pox, during the time the jury were in deliberation seemed to suffer the greatest anxiety, Immediately the verdict was pronounced he seemed for the moment entirely prostrate, but ho quickly recovered himself and burst into tears. He was then taken from the room, and on making his appear ance in the street on his way to the Clerkenwell Police- Court, to which he was conveyed in a cab, the crowd made some little attempt at hissing, but it qaickly subsided as an immense number of idlers followed to the cab with a view of:gettin,g another glimpse of the prisoner. The final examination of the prisoner took place at Clerkenwell Police Court shortly after the termination of the inquest. The same witnesses were examined, and a simi lar conclusion was the result. Position of Affairs in the South. The following letter from General Seymour de scribes the present position of affairs in the South. General Seymour was one of the prisoners of war who were placed under fire at Charleston, and has just been released. The letter is addressed to Mr. Dodge, of New York : " Williamstown, Massachusetts, Aug. 15. " My dear Sir,—You ask for my impressions of the pre sent condition of the Southern Confederacy, and you shall have them, For the benefit of our cause I wish they might be impressed upon every soul in the land, that the confidence begotten of my three months' observations in the interior of the South might be shared by every man who has the least connection with the responsibilities of this struggle, and I am sure that these opinions are not peculiar to myself. Every one of the 50 officers just exchanged will express the same; every one of our men, whether from the gaols of Charleston, or the pens of Macon and Anderson ville, will confidently tell the same story. The rebel cause is fast failing from exhaustion. Their two grand armies have been reinforced this summer from the last resources of the South. From every corner of the land every old man and every boy capable of bearing a rifle has been impressed, willingly or unwillingly, and hurried to the front. Lee's army was the first so strengthened, it was at the expense of Hood's. Governor Brown told the truth with a plainness that was very bitter, but it was none the less truth. Let me extract a few prominent statements from his proclamation of July 9, addressed to the reserved militia of Georgia : A late correspondence with the President of the Confede rate States satisfies my mind that Georgia is to be left to our own resources to supply the reinforcements to General Johnston's army, which are indispensable to the protection of Atlanta, and to prevent the State being overrun by the overwhelming numbers now under the command of the Federal General upon our soil. But there is need of farther reinforcements, as will be seen by the accompanying letter of General Johnston ; . . and it becomes my duty to call out every man in the State able to bear arms, as fast as they can be armed, to aid in the defence of our homes and altars and the graves of our ancestors. If the Confederate Go vernment will not send the large cavalry force (now engaged in raiding and repelling raids) to destroy the long line of railroads over which General Sherman brings his supplies from Nashville, and thus compel him to retreat with the loss of most of his army, the people of Georgia, who have already been drawn upon more heavily in proportion to population than those of any other States in the Confederacy, must, at all hazards and at any sacrifice, rush to the front. If General Johnson's army is destroyed, the Gulf States are thrown open to the enemy, and we are rained.' There must, indeed, have been desperate weakness when Georgia, and the Southern cause with it, were so neglected that Lee's army might be made equal to the task of holding Grant to the Potomac or the James ; and the people of the South are intelligent enough to understand and to appreciate the fact, and they have lost heart accordingly. The following is from a letter written by one rebel to another, that accidentally fell into the hands of ono of my fellow prisoners, and for the authenticity of which I vouch —' Very few persons are preparing to obey the late call of the Governor. His sum mons will meet with no response here. The people are soul sick and heartily tired of this hateful, hopeless strife. They would end it if they could, but our would-be rulers will take good care that no opportunity be given the people to vote against it. By lies, by fraud, and by chicanery his revolu tion was inaugurated ; by force, by tyranny, and by the suppression of truth it is sustained. It is nearly time that it should end ; and of sheer depletion it must end before long. We have had enough of want and of woe, enough of cruelty and carnage, enough of cripples and corpses. There is an abundance of bereaved parents, weeping widows, and orphaned children in the land. If we can, let us not increase the number. The men who, to aggrandise themselves, or to gratify their own ambition, brought this cruel war upon a peaceful and prosperous country, will have to render a tearful account of their misdeeds to a wronged, robbed, and outraged people. Earth has no punishment sufficiently meet for their villany here, and hell will hardly be hot enough to scathe them hereafter.' There is certainly no small propor tion of the Southern people—despite the lying declarations of their generals, as we had good reason to learn—that not only favours the progress of our arms, but that daily prays that this exterminating war may soon be brought to a finality by our complete and perfect success. They have had too much of despotism, not enoughof the triumph promised them. Many intelligent Southern gentlemen do indeed ex press strong hopes of their ultimate independence; but such hope is not shared by the masses. Disappointed from the first in not being acknowledged by foreign Powers, more bitterly disappointed in their general expectations that Northern cowardice or dissension would secure their ends, but a single chance remains, and that is the result of our next election for President. If a Democrat succeeds to Mr Lincoln, they profess to feel sure of negotiations and their Confederacy. They believe a Democrat will be elected. In Mr Lincoln's re-election they see only subjugation, anni hilation; for the war must then continue, and c ontieuance is their failure and ruin. In military affairs it is an excel lent rule never to tic, what tho enemy cl.,Arwo ; it is not equally true in politics ? Certain it is that the remaining hope of the South lies in Mr Lincoln's defeat. Now, I am not enough of a politician to know whether the election of a Democrat can result as favourably to the South as it an ticipates. Their wish alone may be the parent of their belief. But I assured all who expressed that belief that the North, as a mass, is as united as the South— that no Democrat could be elected on a peace platform, and that any President who would inaugurate any mea sure leading to peace, on the basis of Southern indepen dence, would be promptly hung, by loyal acclamation, to the lamp post in front of his own presidential mansion. However that may be, if we are but true to ourselves, there can be but one result. What we now need is men, only men. No substitutes or hirelings, who go forth with any motive but their country's good, and produce but little beyond depreciating our armies ; but men, such as really constitute the State, and boast of being freemen and sons of freemen. If these fail to support their country's cause in her hour of peril, they are unworthy of continuing freemen, and should blush ever to exercise a freeman's privileges. But if bounties be paid let it be in Southern land, not in Northern gold, and armies of emigrants, whose sons may aspire to win the rule of the nation, will cross the seas4o win the broad acres that disloyalty has forfeited to the State. To every intelligent soldier who has fought through all these indecisive campaigns, on almost numberless indecisive fields, the question ccntinuelly wises, with touching force, why do we not overwhelm our enemies ? Tens of thousands of lives are lost because our array of strength is so dispro portionately less than that against which we battle. Every where we meet on nearly equal terms, when we might well have four to one. The cost to us in blood and treasure of a prolonged war can hardly be foreseen—the economy is in finite of such an effort as the glorious North should put forth. The South will fight as long as the struggle is equal, it will submit to such preponderance as we should show in every field. Glance at the summer's campaigns. If Sherman had but 50,000 or 75,000 more men the South would be lost, because Hood would be annihilated. If Meade had moved in the spring with reserves of 75,000 or 100,000 men Lee would have been hoplessly crushed, Even at this moment a third column of 40,000 or 50,000 men, rightly moved would give unopposed blows to the Confede racy from which she could never rise. What folly, then, to struggle on in this way, when we could send to the field five times the force already there. What weakness to think we cannot conquer the South. Behind the James only boys and old men are to be seen, while here men buy and sell as in the olden days of quiet, and regiments of able-bodied citizens crowd the streets of our cities, There is but (see course consistent with Northern safety and honour. Let the people awake to a sense of their dignity and strength, and a few months of comparatively trifling exertion of such effort as alone is worthy of the great North, and the rebellion will crumble before us. Fill this draught promptly and willingly with good and true men, send a few spare thotsands over rather than under the call, and the summer sun of 1665 will shine upon a regenerated land. There are same who speak of peace. Of all Yankees the Southern most scorns those who de not fight, but are glad enough to employ them, as they do their slaves, to perform their dirty work. Peace for the South would be sweet indeed —for us, except through Southern subjugation, but anarchy and war for ever, The Pacific the Western, the Eastern States would at once fall asunder. The South would be dominant, and the people of the North would deserve to be driven afield, under negro owners, to hoe corn and cotton for Southern masters. But no faint-hearted or short-sighted policy can set aside the eternal decrees of the Almighty, who has planted no line of division between the Atlantic and the Western deserts, between the great lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, that signifies His will that we should be separated ; and unless so separated peace is a delusion, and its advocacy a treason against the wisest and holiests interests of our country. It has been with a trust that renewed hope and vigour might be given, when vigour and hope are needful, that I have written, and you have my consent to using this as you please, and I am very truly yours, TRUMAN SEYmoult. Brigadier-General United Staten' Volunteers." FEARFUL EPIDEMIC AT BERMUDA AND NASSAU. —By the arrival of the Canadian mail steamer Hibernian, we have been placed in possession of intelligence respecting an epidemic which is now decimating the islands of Bermuda and Nassau. To such a fearful extent has the epidemic spread in these two islands that the resident medi cal practitioners are quite unable to cope with this terrible emergency, and all the principal army surgeons of the British troops in Canada have gone to assist them. A gen tleman writing from headquarters says:—l regret to learn that the yellow fever has this season broken out with great virulence at Bermuda, and has made a groat deal of havoc among the troops and civilians stationed there, numbers of whom, both officers and men, have fallen victims to the dis ease. The consequence has been a call for medical aisstance from all the military surgeons now in Canada, and a num ber of them have left for Portland, en ront3 for Halifax, from whence they will proceed to Bermuda." "Not only is the yellow fever devastating Bermuda, but Nassau was never in such a frightful state as at present." The fever, it tippers, was first brought to Nassau by a steamer from Havana or Wilmington about three months ago, and since then the number of deaths, especially amongst the Euro peans and those engaged in the blockade running business, has been envxmous, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TIER ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A WIFE TIIROIJOH JEALOUSY.—John Williams, of Brewer-street, Golden. square, charged with stabbing his wife, Annie Williams, in the throat, with intent to murder her, was again brought before Mr Knox. Mr Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prisoner. The evidence taken on the last occasion showed that a constable (William Conquest, C division) saw the prisoner go up to his wife in Leicester-square, near the Alhambra Palace, and place his hand on her throat. The wife then ran away into the Sabloniere Hotel followed by the pri soner, and on the constable going into the hotel to see the cause, he found that the wife was stabbed in the neck. The prisoner was then taken into custody, and subsequently the parts of an instrument were picked up near the spot. On the prisoner being placed at the bar to-day. Mr John Skegg, 2. St Martin's-place, M.R.C.S., said— Abcut half-past 10 on the night of the 25th ult. I was called to the Sabloniere Hotel. She had an incised wound on the neck, was very faint, and appeared to have lost a good deal of blood. The wound was on the left side of the neck and it was about half-an-ineh in length. Mrs Annie Williams, the prosecutrix, said—Before I kiss the book I wish to state that I will not press the charge. I was as much to blame as my husband. Mr Knox—You must be sworn. Mrs Williams was then sworn, and said—On the night of tho 25th ult. I was walking with a gentleman in Leices • ter-square about half-past 10 o'clock in the evening. My husband came up and spoke to me, and I told him to go away. My husband asked me to go and live with him and be comfortable, as we had always been. I told him I would not. He then said that rather than see me with another man he would see me dead. He then put his hand to my neck, and I put up my hand, and caught the instrument in my hand, and found that I was stabbed. When I caught hold of the instrument it was broken in two. I then ran into the Sabloniere Hotel and into the coffee-room, and I told them to send for the nearest medical man, and they did so, and a medical gentleman attended, Mr Skeggs. By Mr Lewis—Recently there has been a disagreement between me and my husband. I have been the cause of it, and he has complained of my mode of life. Shortly before this occurrence he left the house where we had been residing, We were not living together at the time of this occurrence, having been apart for about 6 weeks; but I have seen him On the 25th he was the worse for drink, and has been so fre quently since he left me. He has begged of me to live with him again. Mr. Cutcliffe, supposed to be my father, sur geon, has attended me since, and I am now quite well. The evidence having been read over by Mr Nokes, the chief clerk, Mr. Knox—Was the prisoner drunk, or not, at the time ? Inspector Wilson—He was not drunk, I believe, but very excited. Mr Thomas Wright, of Ranelagh-street, called by Mr Lowir, said—l saw the prisoner near 11 o'clock on the night of the 25th of August. I am the cashier at the Alhambra Palace, and noticed the prisoner walking up and down, staggering as if ho was intoxicated. I certainly believe ho was intoxicated. The prisoner was hen committed for trial. Mr Lewis—l have to apply that the prisoner may be admitted to bail. Mr Knos—l must refuse to take bail. Mr Lewis—l can produce evidence that ho has always borne an irreproachable character. Mr Knox—l cannot take bail. I believe the prisoner intended to take his wife's life. Mr Lcwis—l shall apply to a judge at Chambers. Mr Knox—That course is open to you, THAMES. REVERSE OP FORTUNE.—PAINFUL Gingell, a labourer in the service of the London and Vic toria Dock Company was brought before Mr Paget charged with stealing 43 cigars valued at 14s and stated to be the best in England. The prisoner, who was much, affected was formerly a gentleman of fot tune, and in four years squandered a for tune of £25,000. After several vicissitudes he became a day labourer. His family at home are in some distress, and hie wife was confined with herlast child four days ago. He now appeareck in the felons' dock on a most serious charge. Mr Thomas Pepham, gate keeper of the up town ware house of the London and Victoria Dock Company, Mino ries, said the'prisoner had been employed there two years. Yesterday afternoon he searched the prisoner, and rubbed him down in the usual manner, and found upon him 43 cigars. A portion of them were concealed in his bosom and the remainder in his stockings fastened round his legs with red tape. He said to the prisoner " How came you to be so foolish as to do this ?" and he said " There is illness at home." The prisoner had borne a most excellent character. The prisoner faintly said he was guilty. Mr Addington, inspector of gatekeepers, said that he was desired by his superintendent to say he had known the prisoner 20 years, and that he had borne an irreproachable character. Mr Paget—That tells both ways. The prisoner has robbed his employers in a very ingenious manner. It is a very serious matter. I sentence the prisoner to be impri soned for two months and to be kept to hard labour, A VERY BAD Sox.—Edmund Clay, aged 20, was charged with stealing a scarf shawl, valued at 108., the property of his widowed mother. The prosecutrix said she was very sorry to appear against her son. She was sorry to say he was a very bad fellow. He would not work, and preferred an idle life to living on the fruits of his own industry. He had robbed her several times. Ile had become too well acquainted with a bad set of male and female companions. On Tuesday last he robbed her of a scarf shawl, and sold it for 2s 9d at a leav ing shop. The prisoner, with an air of indifference, said " Guilty, my Lord." He was sentenced to three months' imprison ment and hard labour. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

Tuesday evening, about half-past 8 o'clock, as the Belfast mail steamer Lynx was proceeding down the river, when off the Battery Point, Greenock, she ran down a small rowing boat, one of the occupants of wh;ch, Daniel 31'Donald, joiner and blockmaker, Greenock, was drowned. The deceased had been out fishing at the bank, along with his son, a young lad 14 years of age, and Mr Fleming, of Lawrie and Fleming, carvers and gilders, Greenock, and they were pulling home. As they were crossing the channel they obser red the mail steamer coming down with her lights up, but thinking she was further oft than she in reality was, it being then dark and wet, it was thought they could easily pass her. The steamer, however, struck the small boat amidships and cut her in two. Mr Fleming and the boy were picked up by a boat lowered from the steamer, but M‘Donald sank almost immediately after the collision. Ilia body was found at Cit , ureek en Wednesday, Royal National Lifeboat Institution. A meeting of this institution was held yesterday at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Captain Sir Ed ward Perrott, Bart., M.P., in the chair. There were also present George Lyall, Rig., M.P. ; Col, Palmer, W. H. Herten, Esq., Admiral Ballock, Capt. De St. Croix, and Capt. Ward, R.N., the in• specter of lifeboats of the institution. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, rewards, amounting to £62 were voted to the crews of the lifeboats of the institutions stationed at Pembrey, Margate, New Brighton, Caistor, and Arklow, for going off to vessels in reply to signals of distress in stormy weather, but whose crews had been saved by other means before the arrival of the lifeboats. It was reported that the lifeboats had on every occasion behaved very well. The silver medal of the institution, and a copy of its vote on parchment, were voted to Miss Le Geyt, a resident of Bath, in acknowledgment of her noble and courageous conduct in rescuing two lads from drowning at Lyme Regis, on the 4th ult. Miss Le Geyt had been a visitor at Lyme Regis for some few weeks, and on the day in question was out rowing in a small boat in company with a lady friend. The two lads were out playing at the extremity of the outer pier, and by some means unfortunately, fell into the sea. Upon seeing the accident Miss Le Geyt immediately rowed at much risk through the broken water to their rescue, and throwing an oar to one of the toys, and holding the other lad in her arms until further assistance came, she fortunately was the means of saving'them both from a watery grave. A reward of £2 was also voted to a boat's crew for putting off and saving 3 out of 5 of the crew of a fishing boat which had capsized in a heavy gale near Clogher Head, Louth Harbour, on the 11th of June last. Two men were unfortunately drowned on the occasion. A reward was likewise granted to four men for putting off in a shore boat and rescuing, at consi derable risk of life, eight persons from a fishing boat which had struck on a sunken rock during stormy weather off North Roe, Shetland, on the 24th of May last. A reward of L 3 was also voted to several fisher men for saving six Coastguardsmen whose boat Was capsized off Ferriter's Cove, Dingle, county Kerry, on the sth of July last. . _ Various other rewards were also granted to the crews of shore boats and others for saving life from different wrecks on the coast of the United King dom, Payments, amounting to £l,BOO, were made at various lifeboat establishments, and several lifeboat h o u s es were ordered to be built on various parts of the coast. _ _ The meeting decided to station a new lifeboat at Caistor, near Great Y ar mouth , a nd to appropriate the same to Birmingh am, wher e the r esidents had collected the cost, amounting to about £450 , o f a hliefeabtosatta,tieCnsaiesntorthies e o e n a e st o . f the most important life- Tee id institution ets t The t Great had, Land's .6 , u rst W e s t e rn , during w fs ne hd Cardigan, end the London and counseling railway com pa nies Western,had,wth their t u h * B 3 u connecting railway com panies h ad,w i th their uU' l iberality, a free conveyance to all the c li r f h e ya b sd o t, aaltspalace, and had . duringti on the by h The lifeboat presented to the ins A we n e c k ie , n h t ee o n r e d x er hih o i f ted Foresters atthe excited general attention and admiration.

The French Government had instructed Capitane de Vaissean de la Roche Is.erandraon, of the Im perial navy, to visit the institution and some of its lifeboat stations, with the view of making himself acquainted with the mode of the operations of the society on the coast of the United Kingdom. Messrs. Forrestt are now building three lifeboats for the French Government, under the superin. tendence of the institution.

THE HARVEST. DEnnysninn.—During the past week the weather has been very favourable for harvest operations, and corn cutting is going on in all parts of this county. Seldom or ever was a finer season experienced in this locality for the ingathor ing of the crops, and in the south pert of Derbyshire a good portion of the corn is already safely housed. In the north a fair quantity of corn has been stacked, bat the greater bulk is still standing. The root crops, although much benefited by the late rain, will in nine cases out of ten prove a failure. The nights during the past week have been very frosty. This will materially tend to ripen the outstanding corn in the Peak ; and if fine weather continues no doubt the whole of the corn will be safely stacked and housed in about ten days. As regards the wheat crop accounts vary ; in some places it is pretty good, while in others there will be a deficiency. The barley crop turas out better than was expected. Beans vary—in some parts the yield will be very good, in others very poor. Oats in most parts of the country are turning out a poor crop, the grain being poorly fed, and the straw very short. Farmers in the north of the county are still carting water from the rivers to keep their cattle alive. SCOTLAND.—The past week has been unusually favour able for harvest operations, and in lowland districts cutting has been pushed on so vigorously, alike by manual and mechanical means, that comparatively little now remains to be reaped. In East Lothian leading has been going on for a week or ten days, and many stackyards are already beginning to assume a fall appearance. In Mid and West Lothians there were a few fields cleared last week, but carrying did not generally commence until Monday. Owing to the shortness of the straw the crops are not bulking so well in the stack, but the heads of the wheat are on the whole of fair average size, and it is ex pected will yield tolerably well on the barn floor. There is no doubt that barley, as a rule, will, though deficient in straw, turn out a superior crop. Oats will be a small return, much under the average over the whole county, but there are many fields• as strong as any farmer could wish. The quality of all the grain promises to be more than ordinarily good, owing to the fine dry sunny weather which has pre vailed ever i I .i szen arvpat °Jima in. Farmcro aro at CSOLUU loss just now as to whether they should with for dry weather or rain. In the eastern districts of Scotland especially the green crop is suffering much from lack of moisture ; and, unless rain comes soon, it will be very small. In the more western and northern localities, though not so far behind, the turnips are still backward, and cannot possibly turn out a full crop without rain coming soon; and, indeed, it is problematical, if the yield will prove an average even then. As beef and mutton are so much more valuable than corn just now it is re garded as a very serious matter that there should be a dan ger of turnips and grass falling short. However, on the whole, most husbandmen who occupied mixed land—arable and pasture—would prefer another week or ten days of fair weather, so that they might get their grain safely under " thack and rape." The potatoes, though not nearly so large a crop as last year, are still a fair yield, and the price is much higher than at this time last season, with the pros pect of going up. Beans are generally good. For the last few days we have had threatening of rain, but nothing more than a few slight showers, which did no injury to the grain in stook, have fallen. Rivers and burns are very low, and in many places great scarcity of water for cattle and horses is exper ienced.—Scotsman. MURDEROUS ATTACK.—By the arrival of ll.M.'s surveying steamer Beaver we have a full account of the melancholy but not unexpected murder of Alexander M`Donald and several of his party while on their vvay through from Bentinck-arm is Fort Alexandria. On the 17th of May M'Donald and his party star ed from New Aberdeen, at the head of Bentinck-arm, for Fort Alexandria, on the Fraser. They had 4'2, pack animals, 28 of which were loaded with goods for the mines, valued at between I,OOA and 5,000 dols. On arriving at Naneootloon Lake, about 75 miles from the arm, the met with a party of Indians, com posed of part of the Chilcoaten, Tatla, and Sitleece tribes, among them being two of the murderers of Mr Wadding ton's party at Eute. M'Dougall's squaw,who was a daughter of one of the Chilcoaten chiefs, here learnt from one of her old tillicums that the Indians intended to rob and murder the whole party, and at once informed the packers, who, becoming alarmed, began to retrace their steps, when they were attacked by the savages. Two of the number, M'Dou gall and Higgins, fell from their horses at the first fire, the latter shot through the breast; M'Donald's horse was shot under him, on which he mounted another, which was also shot down. He then took to the bush, and when last seen was standing behind a tree shooting at the Indians with his revolver. Barney Johnson was badly wounded in the face and breast by heavy shot, and a ball passel through his horse's head, killing the animal and tearing open the rider's cheek. Malcolm M‘Leod was wounded with shot, and his hand badly torn by a ball. Grant got a ball through his arm and his side filled with shot. Frederick Harrison was also considerably cut up. Farquharson was the only one who escaped unhurt, although his horse was shot un der him. He escaped into the bush, where he was four days wandering about without food, except berries, not daring to return to the trail for fear of being. seen by the Indians. He at last made his way ba3k to the head of the Arm. 111‘Dou gall's squaw was also shot by the Indians, and all the horses and property carried off. Grant found his way to Mr Hamil ton's ranch, and burst in upon the family, his face and body streaming with blood, telling them of the massacre. They at once packed up a few valuables, and taking their arms and ammunition, hastened down to the river and embarked in a canoe. They had hardly got afloat when the blood• thirsty villains appeared on the high bark above them. They did not fire, however, being intent on plundering' the house, and the little party fortunately made their escape unhurt. The New Westminster Volunteers landed at Ben tinck-arm on Sunday, the 19th, and started at once after the murderers. They were accompanied by 30 Bella Coola Indians, who had been supplied with arms by Governor Seymour. A force of Marines, probably 60 or 70 in number, would be despatched by Admiral Kingcome, to follow the Volunteers and render all the assistance in their power. Governor Seymour started across for Fort Alexandria on the following Monday. — Victoria (Vancouver) Colonist, June 28. EXTENSIVEEMBEZZLEMENT.—We regret to learn that the cashkeeper in a large stockbroking concern in Liverpool has absconded, leaving deficiencies in his ac • counts to an amount variously estimated at from £lO,OOO to £16,000. It is said that the books of the concern have been falsified in the most dexterous maun balances being struck fortnightly, and nothing left to create the slightest sushi. cion in the minds of the principals. The absentee is a single man, about 40 years of age, end it is said that his extensive transactions on the turf have been the cause of his ruin. As a proof of the reckless manner in which he acted, it is said that for the St. Leger he had backed Scot tish Chief for £l,OOO, and the horse having been scratched, he was a loser to the full amount. It is believed that the defaulter has sailed for America under the assumed name of Surith.—Liverpool Jlail. PLYMOUTH, Sept. 1U a.m.—Last night the secolid officer of the Spanish schooner Sirens, Captain Arranda, arrived here from Tor Point. Ile reports that the schooner was of and from Tarragona, in ballast, hound for Norway. Oa Monday night, between 10 and 11 o ' c l oc k, she was run down and sunk by a steamship, tarno unknown. Th ree o f the crew got on board the sleamn*, The orher escaped in the tong boat, landed in WhilCSand Bay, and walked to Tor Point. The Explosion on the North London Railway. Dr Lankester yesterday resumed the inquest on the body of the stoker, whose death was occasioned by the explosion of the locomotive engine on the North London Railway. The jury having inspected the wreck of the locomotive at the company's works, at Bow, Captain Tyler, of the Board of Trade, was examined at great length, the effect of his evidence being that the ex plosion was owing to a weakening in the bolts and stays of the engine. In answer to Mr Sleigh, who appeared for the company, Capt. Tyler said it was impossible by visible iaspecaon to detect the defects in the stays of the engine which. caus e d the accident, except there were either leakage or be Bing. The Coroner said the jury would now deliberate on. their verdict, They would of course consider whether there had been any laxity of inspection, and if they should be of that opinion they would of course say so, Captain Tyler had said that it would, be impossible by visible ineLN.etion, to detect the defect that caused the accident; but if the jury thought that, there should bo more attention paid to the examination of the state of the locomotives they could express that opinion in their verdict. No criminal act had been committed, as no law had been broken ; but if there had been au act stating that a certain thing seoald be done, and the provisions of the act had not been complied with, then there could be a verdict of manslaughter returned ag a i ns t some party ; as it was, such was not the case. lie felt certain that any re commendation the jury might feel it their duty to attach to their verdict would be given the greatest conlideraticn to by the London Railway Company, The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of 40 minutes returned to the inquest nee,. The Foreman read the verdict, which began by stating that Davis met with his death in consequence of the es, plosion of the fire box of No. 6 engine. The Coroner —That is accidental death. Several persons exclaimed " No, no," and one sa i d, " The foreman has the report, an d h e oug ht no t t o be in.. terrupted." The Coroner—That must be left to me. The Foreman added that in the opinion of the jury the, rivet-heads ought to have been more frequently examined, when there were such evident signs of weakness, Tne Coroner—Then your verdict is accidental death, with recommendations to be sent to the directors. Several gentlemen said the word "accidental" was not in the verdict. The Coroner—You don't say it was not accidental, surely. A Juror—We purposely leave that an open question. The Coroner—The death must have born natural, aced dental, or violent, What do you say- it was ? A Jc.ror—We say nothing about it. We purposely left it open, in order that, it pressed upon us, we might retire to reconsider the matter. The Coroner—You had better retire and bring in a ver dict of manslaughter against the company. Mr Sleigh said, perhaps the jury would pardon him, but what he supposed they intended to convey was that there was no evidence to affix blame to any particular indi vidual. A Juror—lf we bring in a verdict of accidental death, are the company liable for the consequences. Coroner—Yes, certainly. The company will be civilly responsible. A Juror--I don't see how we can come to the conclusion that the death was accidental, when we are of opinion that it arose from the neglect of proper care. The Coroner said he was only anxious that a verdict should be returned which would be effective. He thought it best the jury should return such a verdict as would en able a jury to convict, and not one upon which they must acquit. A Juror—Before we again leave this room I should liko to know whether we are bound to return either a verdict of accidental death or manslaughter ? The Coroner—Yes, you must one or the other, and name the parties whom you consider responsible. A Juror—l think we ought to be bound by Johnson's Dictionary. What is his meaning of the word " Acci dent ?" The Coroner—That may do very well, but in this country we go by common sense. The jury then again retired,and after a short absence re turned to the inquest loom, when The Coroner asked if they were agreed ? The Foreman said their verdict was, that the death of the man William Davis arose from fracture of the base of the skull, and that that fracture was caused by the explo sion of No. 6 engine on the North London Railway on the 16th of August last, and also that the death arose from, misadventure. • The jury appended two resolutions to their verdict, one specifying that there had not been proper care in the exa mination of the locomotive, and the other that some more effectual stei,s be taken for the future. The Coroner, foreman, and jurors then signed the ver aloe wad reoolutioao, wLa a copy was ordered to be trans mitted to the directors of the Noah London Railway Com pany. The proceedings then terminated. CRICKE T, ONE ARM V. ONE LEG.—The weather proved very fine yesterday, and this burlesque match upon genuine cricket attracted a very large number of spectators, upwards of three thousand persons, including a number of the fair sex, being present, a complete ring on the large ground at lien nington•oval being formed. Soon after 12 o'clock the One- Leg side entered on their second innings, being in a mino rity of 17 of their opponents. The innings finished for 136, leaving the One-Arm 120 to get to win. Time, however, did not permit the game to b 3 played out, and the match was left drawn, the One-Arm scoring 112, with one wicket to fall. The amusement excited during the play was con. siderable. Imagine a one-leg man attempting to Catch or run after a ball; he breaks his leg (a wooden one), and the whole of the spectators are convulsed with laughtix, which is increased when one of his opponents picks htm up and carries him on his back to the retiring room. The veteran s themselves seemed to enjoy the fun as well as the spectators, for when attempting to make a run they would throw themselves down, and endeavour with the bat to reach over the popping crease, which convulsed the assemblage with laughter. In the course of the afternoon the children of the Licensed Victuallers' School again attended with their band, Governor Ilarris, of the Incorporated Society, looking after thew as a guardian. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr F. Hill, host of the Surrey Tavern, who provided tea, cake, bread and butter, and fruit for the chil dren (numbering 140) on both days.
